Turning their attention back to Premier League duties on Saturday evening, Arsenal will welcome Brentford to north London this weekend.
Claiming what was a famous 3-0 victory against Real Madrid in midweek and laying down a sensational Champions League marker, the Gunners will be desperate to keep up their recent momentum here.
Almost sat in top-flight limbo and failing to find any real stability on either side of March’s international break, Brentford have mustered just a sole victory from any of their previous five Premier League appearances.
With all eyes falling on the Emirates this weekend, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Arsenal vs Brentford Bet Builder Tips.
Arsenal looking to extend on their momentum
While Arsenal might open Saturday’s fixtures sat 11 points adrift of runaway leaders Liverpool and having accepted that their domestic title dreams have gone up in smoke for another season, the mood in Mikel Arteta’s camp should be at a real high.
Putting in what was a famous European performance earlier in the week as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp against Real Madrid, the Gunners will be looking to keep up their recent momentum here.
Marking their return from March’s international break with a 2-1 victory against Fulham, Arsenal have gained a reputation for their extended success on home soil.
Despite suffering a shock 1-0 loss against West Ham back on February 22nd, that is the only defeat that Arteta’s men have suffered in north London so far this season.
Landing a 3-1 victory when they travelled to west London for their reverse Premier League meeting against Brentford on New Year’s Day, Saturday’s hosts will be seeking a repeat performance here.

Rice to steal all the headlines again?
While attacking talisman Bukayo Saka might have made a first start of 2025 against Real Madrid on Tuesday night, it was another England international who stole all of the headlines in north London.
Producing a pair of fabulous second-half free-kicks and putting Arteta’s camp on the cusp of the Champions League’s final four, the former West Ham skipper certainly underlined his importance to Arsenal.
Now notching three goals in his previous two Champions League appearances over the past month, Rice has also registered five goals across all competitions so far this calendar year.
Clearly relishing life in a more attacking role, Rice has also registered 38 Premier League shots on goal this season and only three other players in north London have recorded more efforts.
It should also be highlighted, Rice got on the scoresheet when Arsenal last welcomed Brentford to the Emirates for a Premier League showdown back in March 2024.

Brentford’s nightmare record against the Gunners
While some in Brentford’s camp might have opened up the New Year with their sights set on mounting a genuine European charge, the Bees have struggled to find any real fluidity.
Despite snatching a 0-0 stalemate against west London rivals Chelsea last weekend, Thomas Frank’s side have registered just a sole victory from their previous five appearances and almost find themselves sat in Premier League limbo.
Falling to a 3-1 loss when they welcomed Arsenal to the Gtech for their reverse Premier League meeting on New Year’s Day, Brentford hold a nightmare record against Saturday’s hosts.
Including a 2-1 defeat when they travelled to the Emirates last season, Frank’s camp have lost all of their previous four Premier League showdowns against Arsenal by an aggregate score of 7-2.
Although Brentford might have broken plenty of records thanks to their success on the road so far this calendar year, the Bees look set for what will be a stern examination across the capital.
